It would have been nice if the Battle Damaged face had an angry expression too instead of opening his mouth midway.

I know he makes that face at some point in the film and it's not goofy like the Bale "DOOOOOOOO" face but I would have liked to have seen a PISSED mouth piece. Maybe push the limit and make a 4th clean, angry face.

They're all good though.

This is what I was thinking too. Its almost odd that they didnt seeming how HT has made one for the other Bats:Regular relaxed mouth, talking( Im assuming, which usually turns out weird looking) and a pissed off grimace. The DX02 and the new BB figure both have that set up. I dunno. I suppose things could always change as March is still a ways off but I dont think so.

If the cape is detachable (I don't know why it wouldn't). I hope it doesn't utilize pegs. Since it wouldn't be visible under the cowl, I'm hoping for a Takara/Lforgino type cape that just fits over the neck.

It might not be because in the 89 suit the cape lays underneath the whole cowl/symbol.

New OC Batman uses magnets? I feel like this is inferior to the DX02 method, how easy can they come off, how do you grip them? With DX02 it's so easy to just pop them out and no risk of damage to the part you see.

They come off quite easily. Some caution is needed to not rub your nails hard on the paint, but like Eamon said, no nails are needed.


With the DX02, the method they used worked well only because the head was magnetic, and you could take it off without touching the rest of the figure. With the New OC it would mean pulling off the head - most likely screwing up the whole pose, and definitely re-futzing the cape every time you switched a mouth piece.

Michael Keaton Bats definitely should have the magnetic mouth pieces.

I'm not so fanatical as to buy every variant, I have the OC, don't care about a first night out Wayne, especially since the bat emblem makes it inaccurrate, and I have an Andy B Bale head I'm happy enough with and from photos I've seen, I find the new Wayne head to look a bit puny anyway, so there's just nothing of value for me to spend another $200 on a figure I pretty much have. V1 TDK to DX02 was a drastic difference worth a lot to me.

I WILL be getting this Keaton though, it is a must get figure on my list.

Yeah, the head is way to small to ever use on the figure it comes with, making the FNO option kind of pointless (IMO of course). But the BW head looks great on the DX02.

Tis funny that the folks who don't make the figures provide the better costumer service.
Everybody seems to be getting sorted out.
I got a Mark 6 Iron Man with a missing washer, broken chest light and arm light. No help at all.

I think that would actually be a clever way of doing PERS. Include a utensil like the DX02, and have the mouths be magnetic. Underneath the mouthpieces, have the panel holding the magnet pop out (using the utensil), and then access the PERS, with the utensil, through the mouth of the cowl.

^^^Good idea!

 

[Blood Electricity]

hey batfan..I've never noticed his symbol getting damaged. I even watched the movie yesterday to try and pick up on it. Does anyone have a screen cap?

It's definitely singed and the least:

PR or not but it's completely out of place here

I was just posting it for those who might like it as i'm not getting anything out of it. If its breaking the rules in anyway i'll remove it

 

[Drakul]

That would make a cool base/stand for a 12" figure of a Philadelphia Eagles football player

OK, I ran away with myself when this was first shown. Its an incredible figure but I just cancelled my BBTS order. I just won't be able to justify a second one with everything else I'm buying. So just the one from Toys2 and I'll change poses and swap out mouth pieces every now and again.
